How safe is curbside pickup?

As curbside pickup gains popularity among restaurants and consumers, health officials are still learning about the virus and how it’s spread. The CDC recently advised that COVID-19 is not solely spread by person-to-person contact. It can also be spread by contact with contaminated surfaces or objects.

“It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but we are still learning more about this virus.”
